Auntie’s Apple Pie

One of my old-timer favorite pies is my Aunt’s Apple pie, which is really special, and of course my friend’s favorite. In March, it is when I miss my aunt the most because every year she used to bake me one for my birthday… 

This recipe is very easy to make, and the crust, which is the most important part of a pie, is amazing. I can guarantee this recipe is going to be your favorite.

Homemade apple pie is a classic, and you can eat it any time of year. If you have never made apple pie, don’t feel afraid, this recipe is very easy to make and the best thing is you can use cherries, berries or even peaches instead of apples.

One of my favorite apple to use are the sort Gala because is especially sweet and reminds me to snow white, nevertheless, you can always pick a less sweet apples, but of course, this will depend on how sweet you want your pie to be.

You can do this pie, not just with apples, but also with cherries and berries, all of them are amazing, but apples are the ones, at least for me.
